There are specialised helicopters for attack, reconnaissance, troop transport, tactical support, search and rescue, anti-submarine warfare, and other missions. Simulating rotary wing platforms, however, is not without a range of distinct and demanding challenges. Helicopters differ from fixed wing aircraft in many ways, such as flight controls, aerodynamics and vibration. The combination of technical challenges with the varied operational uses of helicopters leads to unique demands on rotary wing simulation and training. Over the years, CAE has built a reputation as one of the world’s leading helicopter simulation and training providers. CAE’s reputation has been built on a solid foundation of innovation and experience. No other company has simulated a greater variety of rotary wing platforms from virtually all the major platform manufacturers, CAE’s high-fidelity helicopter simulators offer realistic training for the offshore transport market, which faces and the company maintains an impressive record challenging and often dangerous conditions. of industry firsts. helicopter simulation include complex tactical Hawk variant. In addition, CAE has designed Technology Leadership simulations, advanced ground handling models, both flight and rear crew training systems for CAE has developed a range of technical air wake models for realistic wind effects, and the Seahawk helicopter, including the S-70B solutions that have raised the level of training three-dimensional ocean models for high fidelity and the United States Navy’s latest MH-60S and fidelity and helped improve helicopter safety. helicopter ship landing dynamics. It is this MH-60R platforms. Recently, CAE has delivered For example, CAE’s Blade Element Rotor Model record for technology leadership that more than a its revolutionary roll-on/roll-off convertible full- (BERM) faithfully models the blade aerodynamic decade ago made a CAE-built S-70 Black Hawk mission simulator design to several customers in characteristics of helicopters, thus delivering simulator the first military helicopter simulator Asia. The roll-on/roll-off cockpit design enables improved training value because of the realism to achieve Level D, the highest level of simulator cockpits representing different helicopter types afforded in areas such as vortex ring effects and accreditation, from an independent aviation to be used in the full-mission simulator and when autorotation. Another CAE innovation is the authority. one is in the simulator, the other cockpit can be a dedicated 3-DOF (degrees-of-freedom) vibration fixed-based flight training device. platform, which is designed to augment the Program and Platform Experience for Asia One area where CAE has been actively performance of a 6-DOF motion system and CAE has simulated a great variety of developing training solutions is the offshore provide high fidelity vibration cues to the pilot. helicopters, including a range of variants of the transport market, which faces challenging and Other CAE technical achievements related to H-60 platform such as the latest M model Black often dangerous conditions. The company launched the CAE 3000 Series helicopter mission simulator to provide an unprecedented level of realism for helicopter-specific mission training, including offshore, emergency medical services, law enforcement, high- altitude, corporate, and other operations. For platforms such as the AW139 and S-92, the CAE 3000 Series helicopter simulator is ideal for high-fidelity, mission-specific training. A CAE 3000 Series AW139 full-flight simulator will be delivered later this year to Professional Way in Malaysia to support AW139 operators in the region. CAE is proud to be recognised as a company with proven skills and experience related specifically to rotary wing simulation and training. The world’s military and civil rotorcraft market continues to grow as the helicopter takes on more and more missions. CAE’s experience, innovation, and technology leadership position the company as an ideal No company has simulated a greater variety of helicopters than CAE, including platforms such as the S-70B training partner for any helicopter simulation Seahawk and the AS365 Dauphin shown here at the HATSOFF training centre in India. and training requirement. 15 lovea380.com
